    The Winter Break Is A B@llocks Idea

    I've always said we don't need it and its modern football w@nkery

    They add in time off yet don't extend the season beyond May

    The proof of the pudding is, we have a quarter of the season jammed in the month of December. 9 games in a month. We have been penalized for reaching the cup final (for all the good it did)

    What was the actual reason for it starting up?

    Pointless endeavour

    They started it up to give me the opportunity for a wee winter break so I can go and watch Seville or Benfica or Valencia or anybody where the sun shines and I can get a touch of heat in my old knees.

    For that reason I'm all for it.

    It also allows Red John and Jupiter to catch up on their TV recordings.

    A winter break should include December, not fill December full of games.

    How many family arguments is playing Celtic on boxing day going to cause?

    Traditionally I like festive games, but three midweek games in December, when the temperature will get barely above 0, menas we should be playing these in July.
    Attendances would be better for a start.

    Winter is pish and gloomy

    Fitba is the only decent thing in winter

    But if the beaks want to keep the break, start earlier or finish later and don't play a quarter of a season in a month. Its madness

    The most expensive month of the year for most people and they make it more expensive by upping the fans expenditure due to all the games. F@cking fuds in charge in brain fart shocker

    This cannot be disputed. It displays in a nutshell how out of touch the goons are that run our game (into the ground)

    At least you already know what the traditional family argument is going to be about this year. Give you plenty time to prepare your side of it.

    It's a lot better than traditional arguments like someone having the turkey in the oven for 4 hours before realising it wasn't switched on.
